ONE OF OUR FAVORITES SO FAR

posted: April 8, 2018

A Brief Respite

We continue working hard on our first supernatural-story anthology, 21st Century Ghost Stories—Volume I, which is due out in August. The paperbound book (Wyrd Harvest Press; Durham, U.K.) will include all winning and honorable mention stories published to date in The Supernatural Fiction Award and The Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition.

Our illustrator, Andy Paciorek, has created images for about one third of the 29 stories so far—and this one is one of our favorites. It illustrates “A Brief Respite,” written by English writer C.L. Dalkin, which was our 2016 Screw Turn winner. Enjoy.
